Just found a tick on my inner thigh. I plucked it off with my hands and it seems everything is in fact with it's mouth, etc. I have it in a bag. Hurt like hell coming off and is sort of itchy and red. What should I watch for? I have pictures of it. Any way to upload them to verify the type of tick?

In situations with Lyme Disease it really is best to go to a doctor/urgentcare. If you get on antibiotics quick, you have nothing to worry about. Even if the tick is lyme disease free I wouldn't want to wait and see.

Are the pictures viewable yet? Tick is very small. Doesn't look like it sucked any or barely any blood. Has six legs and three prong type teeth marks. Appears to have ridges that are brown and black on it while it has a white spot on it also.
